CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION



They taught that World War 1 was the war to end
all wars, but they were wrong. After World War 1 the world was soon caught up to
another destructive war. World War 2 involved more countries than the earlier war,
that caused changes around the world. World War 2 lasted from 1939 to 1945 that is
why it was called the most wide spread war in history, with more than 100 million
people from more than 30 countries was involved in World War 2.

CHAPTER II
THE START OF WORLD WAR 2



World War 2 commenced as a localized conflict in
Eastern Europe and expanded until it merged with a confrontation in the Far East to
form a global war of immerse proportions. The war began in Europe on September 1,
1939, when Germany attacked Poland, and ended on September 2, 1945, with the
formal surrender of Japan about the U.S. battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Involving
most of the worlds major powers as belligerents, it also included many smaller states
on both sides. The victorious Allies included Great Britain and the Commonwealth,
France, the United States, the USSR, and China. The losing side comprised Germany,
Italy, and Japan, as well as smaller nations. The opponents clashed in two major areas:
Europe, including the coast of North Africa and the North Atlantic, and Asia, including
the Central and South West Pacific, China, Burma, and Japan. The belligerents fought
over the central issue of the Axis expansion, which was halted at the cost of many
millions of military and civilian casualties.

CHAPTER III
FROM ARGUMENTS TO WAR



When World War 1 ended, the Western
democracies desperately tried to not end peace during the 1930s. While the Western
democracies tried to preserve peace, rulers of Germany, Italy and Japan were preparing
to build new empires again. So the efforts of Neville Chamberlain and the other Western
leaders, were headed to war again.

In the 1930s the challenges to peace has a
followed pattern. Aggressive action was made from the dictators but unfortunately, it
was only verbal protests and please for peace from democracies. The dictators viewed
that desire for peace is a weakness so they responded with new acts of aggression. After
understanding these event, we can now see the flow of democracies policies. However
these policies produced a long and careful consideration. From that time some people
believed they would work.

CHAPTER IV
HITLER CONQUERS CZECHOSLOVAKIA



Despite Hitlers promise at Munich, he did not stop
with the Sudetenland. German troops took a prague in March 1939 so the Czech capital,
and Czechoslovakia stopped to exist as an independent nation.

The Czechoslovakia destruction appears to be quite
different from the take overs of German-speaking state. In addition, Hitler promised
that he will not take more territories but it had clearly been meaningless. His goal was
to rule Europe.

CHAPTER V
SPANISH CIVIL WAR DURING WORLD WAR 2



In July 1936, the Spanish Civil War began, a
disagreement between Spains liberal-lettist republican coalition government and
rightists led by Gen. Francisco Franco. Soon the war brought international
repercussions. Planes, troops and supplies were sent by Hitler and Mussolini to Franco,
while Joseph Stalin the soviet dictator gave military equipments to the republicans. The
United States adhered to a policy of strict neutrality, and Britain and France, are eager
to prevent war. The compliance between Germany and Italy in Spain helped to cover
the dark Rome-Berlin Axis, it was and understanding that they had concluded in 1936.
The victory of France strengthened Hitlers and Mussolinis position in the
Mediteranean. The Japanese decided the Anti-comintern Pact with Germany in 1936. A
year later, Italy joined the group.

CHAPTER VI
THE WORLD WAR 2 HOLOCAUST



From 1933 to 1945, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party
launched a campaign to kill all people that they consider an unworthy of life. The
murdering of civilians were focused on Jews and political opponents, but the Nazies also
murdered the homosexuals and the disabled. It is estimated that 6 million people were
killed in the Holocaust and most were Jews who had been placed in German
concentration work camps.

CHAPTER VII
DUNKIRK EVACUATION: ITALY ENTERS WAR



On May 28, King Leopard of Belgium surrendered
his army. The allies had no choice but try to escape by sea. From May 29 to June 4 the
allies has evacuated 360,000 men from Dunkirk. This is one of the most unforgettable
naval operations in history.

On June 5, the battle of France began. Along a 100-
mile front near Laon to the English channel, the Germans attacked. They fought with
French forces and headed for Paris. And at that point Italy declared war on Great Britain
and France.
